We need a 'Big Mickey' mentor program on here

[Lambert808]

I have never been to WDW. I am reading as much as I can, honest But there are still stupid things I would like an opinion on and I don't think they are board worthy LOL! I need a Big Mickey (as opposed to a mentor or big brother/sisiter )

Is there any such program on here, hee hee! Someone to answer my stupid, probably already been asked, type questions.

So, what do you think

 

[WDW Donna]

No question is stupid. Ask away. There all levels of expertise in this forum. I would be happy to help you if you wish. Feel free to email if you don't want to post your questions.

I too am getting ready to visit WDW for first time. I have asked many questions. And also, I will view the Threads and see a question that I was pondering too! and another person asked "for me!!". So, go ahead and ask your questions "in public" so all of us first timers and see the answers too!
(It's not like we are going to see you at work the next day and say to ourselves, "geesh, I cannot believe he asked that question" heeeeeeeeeeee)

I've been here for over a year, reading everything, and there's still lots of stuff that comes up that's new to me too.

So ask, like Hermosa11 said...there's others who need to know too..

 

[Lambert808]

LOL! I started - I did it. I posted 2 dumb questions that I know are out there and I just couldn't find them. Are you happy now

I'm here too to answer ANY questions you may have - been to WDW more than 30 times (& have NEVER lived in FL). Have stayed in all deluxe on-site resorts. Besides I have the perfect moniker - Michaela Mausse. REALLY! And no my parents weren['t disney fans.

Okay, I will take you up on your offer to answer some questions, being you are a seasoned veteran of the WDW parks.

1) Are you familiar with any form of boating that is offered withing the lagoon area? Specifically those mouse boats.? I see they are appx. $22/half hour. small in size .........350# minimum poundage per boat? I see they are offered at most on-site resorts.

2) I am considering going to AK for half of one morning and then on to another park. How difficult is it to visit AK and then have to get the car to another location (TTC for example).

3) At MK - Timekeeper, is that still going? I see it is a 360 degree show. I always enjoyed Circa vision in Disneyland.

4) I will think of more questions..............

thanks!

Yes. I LOVE THOSE MICE! It's much cheaper if you go on a plan either a LOS or I think a "Captain's Plan" - IOW you can ride the mice as much as you want for say $100. I usually stay on Grand Plan so I have unlimited athletic activities but they are SOOO much fun - I especially love skipping your own wake.

Moving on to the next question:

If YOU are driving, to get from AK to TTC driving time is about 20 minutes. If you are waiting for WDW transport, plan on spending a minimum of 45 minutes to 1 hour to get from AK to TTC.

Yes - it is STILL at WDW (at least in Feb it was.)

Keep them coming............... I try and log on at least twice a week.

Timekeeper seems to be closed more than it is open lately. So I wouldn't count on seeing it. I have been the last several weeks and it has been closed each time.
